AceShowbiz - Is The Weeknd preparing a collaboration with Katy Perry? The "I Feel It Coming" hitmaker has been reported to work on a collaboration with Katy after the two were spotted having dinner together at Madeo Restaurant in West Hollywood on Monday night, November 20.

In pictures that were taken by paparazzi, Katy looked chic in a knee-length, camel-colored coat and matching heels. She completed her look with a black handbag. The Weeknd, on the other hand, sported a casual look with a denim jacket, an unzipped hoodie and skinny black jeans.

A source tells E! News that the collaboration is happening as The Weeknd keeps thinking about working on a collaboration with talented artists. "Abel is always thinking about new collaboration with talented artists. Abel has many female friends and most of them are in the industry," the source remarks.

Another source adds that the two were joined by a "few producers" and were having a great time as they dined on pasta, pizza and steak for three hours. "They were with a group of people and they arrived and left separately," a source tells PEOPLE. "They dined on pasta, pizza and steak for three hours. They had intense conversations and everyone seemed to have a great time."

The rumored collaboration aside, The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen, reportedly rekindles his romance with Bella Hadid. The rumors came after the 27-year-old musician was photographed leaving Bella's apartment in New York City on November 14. Multiple sources have confirmed that they have been "hanging out" again since The Weeknd broke up with Selena Gomez.

"Bella and Abel have been in contact since Abel and Selena split, but they are not back together," a source explained. They still have feelings for each other, though, as another source claimed that The Weeknd has expressed his love for the model. Unfortunately for him, Bella wants to take things slow.

"She still loves him but has her guard up. She never really got over him. She is not looking to be exclusive with him now, just to be his friend," the source shared, adding that Bella knows his schedule would not allow him "to stay focused on her."
